Allard, Kenneth. Somalia Operations: Lessons Learned (Washington, DC: National Defense University Press, January 1995) 113 p.
[This is a valuable study by a man distinguished as both scholar and military officer, now on the faculty at the National Defense University. The book is particularly useful in linking events in Somalia with military doctrinal publications that demonstrate what was learned from the Somalia experience. Col. Allard was not directly involved in the Somalia operations; his discussion repeats the perception of some of the early participants in the operation that would erect a barrier between the UN Security Council decision-making process and the U.S. military terms of reference for the various stages in the operations. The original drafts of Security Council Resolutions 794 and 814 were written in the Pentagon, and although they were later somewhat modified in the subsequent inter-agency process, the essential blueprint for the move from humanitarian relief to "nation-building" was designed by the U.S.]

[There is a narrow cult of analysts, particularly associated with the Marine Corps, which resolutely misread the events that took place in Somalia after the departure of the UNITAF. Influencing the preservation of these myths is the suspicion that if political actions taken after UNITAF redeployed were justified, then the "treatment of the symptoms by UNITAF," as termed by the author, were inadequate.]

[A strongly-worded condemnation of international peacekeeping projects. LTC (ret) Armstrong was plans officer for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. In spite of this limited experience in international operations, the author, in his tirade, forgets that the UN can only be an instrument of international consensus, a matter which is usually formed by the U.S. If the UN's efforts were "futile" in Somalia, then the U.S., which drafted the operative Security Council resolutions 794 and 814, cannot blame the UN for their failure.]
